UCR Presidential Controversy Continues

Catlord5 declared on February 17 that he would be giving UCR away to another because of RL problems. This led many to suggest that Cat would be hosting elections, because he was 'That sort of president', and also gave many HRs and Members heart attacks when they learned this, when they had been hoping for Catlord5 to stay. Names were flying around left and right, before on February 18th, Catlord5 stated that he would be keeping UCR.
Catlord5's mom stated that he would only be allowed to be on roblox on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, because he was 'addicted' to the game. Catlord, on the 18th, said that he would be keeping UCR, and would be 'semi-active'. Many are glad because of this, but some suggested that having a semi-active president would eventually destroy the group.

Weekend Warrior hat: Quick Review

I have always had a love of shades on Roblox. It's just unfortunate that there isn't an awful lot of them to choose from. So when I saw the Weekend Warrior shades pop up on the catalog I was quite excited, however, this excitement was short lived.

The hat was originally on sale for R$1000 and is now selling privately for about R$1300-R$1500, and to be honest, I don't think it's worth it.

The shades do look good when worn, that's if you forget the fact that the design on the front of the shades makes them look like a 3 year old smudged paint all over them!

However, if you're just looking to make some profit this may work out for you. If you buy the hat now the price still has some room to grow.

Overall I think this hat is very poor, I wouldn't buy this unless you're looking to make a few bucks.

How to buy 'limited' items

The question when buying new limited items after everyone has bought them and put them on sale is, is it worth it?

It can be frustrating when you buy a Limited item for lets say R$1000 then the price drops down to maybe R$800. 

However, it can be immensely rewarding when you get an item at a low price and sell it for much more! 

So, how do you know when an item is buyable or not? 

Well, there are a few things to look out for. 

1. How quickly did it sell out- If an item sells out very quickly this is a sure sign that the item is popular and the price is going to rise. Get the item asap at this point and try to get the lowest price you can for it. Then wait a few hours/ days until the price has escalated. It is important to be patient and not to resell the item as soon as you get it. 

2. The original selling price- If the original selling price was high the item is probably good looking and people are going to want it. This will indicate if the price is going to go up or down. 

3. Use your own personal judgement- Be curious! Take a look at the item, see if it's selling well and the price is going up or down. 

4. Price fluctuations- If an item is low at the moment but has been high in the past, BUY IT! Items prices fluctuate up and down all the time, buy the item on a low spike to make a profit on the high spike!

This has been a very, very basic summary of things you need to be aware of when buying limited items. 

I hope it helps you to buy limiteds in the future.

A New ROBLOX Hacker Group WARNING!

A new hacker group has been taking accounts rapidly over the past few weeks! They call themselves the KHJR Crew or RATs Crew. This hack has gotten more than 300 accounts because this hack messages all of the person’s friends too, once they have been infected.

To get people’s accounts, this group PMs random ROBLOXians, like you, this message:
“[LINK BLANKED OUT FOR SAFETY REASONS]
What this is; a basic LUA script generation program: Coded by the K.H.J.R. Crew. It can enhance your very places by allowing you an easy and fast doorway into LUA scripts. It’s abilities are limited only to your imagination; Enjoy.”

If you receive this message, DO NOT CLICK THE LINK THEY SEND YOU. This is how they get your account. Once you open the file they got you to download, it automatically sends the same message that you got to all of your friends. After this, you get banned for 7 days and they may have your password, and they may have even CHANGED it.

So, long story short. DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES ON ROBLOX! This will save you from being hacked by this devious group. Remember to tell all of your friends about this so they don’t fall for it, too.

New Staff Member: RobyTobyRobot66!

Hello, everyone! I, RobyTobyRobot66, am a new staff member here at Top Roblox News! I have various other jobs in ROBLOX. I'm a Reporter for the successful magazine, RoGo! I as well have my OWN blog, ROBLOX Just In! And as well, former producer/co-host for Roblox Channel 1 News. I really love the ROBLOX News industry business! And I can't wait to start helping for this website! It seems really awesome! And not just reports for me, I plan on doing interviews, and maybe even hat, gear and/or game reviews! Plan on seeing further news posts from me, RobyTobyRobot66! :)

UCR Gets New Leader.

On Valentines Day, TDFall, former president of the United Clan of ROBLOX, steps down from his position from leader and announces that Catlord5 will be the new president. Many members will miss TDFall as president even though he is still of high influence at the council rank, and are wondering whether or not he made a good choice on the new president.
Catlord5 says to TDFall as a farewell: "TD, words can not express the respect I have for you. Not only have you been a great leader, you've been a great friend. Sure, certain things I've disagreed with you on, but that's only natural. Just remember, TD, that we're always here; come back and visit (I know you're not quitting yet but still). UCR will miss you; I'll miss you. Thank you, thank you(!) for giving me the chance to own the clan that I have stayed in since the time I came back to ROBLOX. You were great."
But some are glad that TDFall is gone, saying that if he had stayed, the controversial 'reinvention reform' that he made might have gone through, and eliminated democracy in UCR. The Reinvention Reform was originally created to promote activity throughout the HRs, and included a complex 'branch' system where you could pay to get the rank of Contractor, now Promoter.
Supporters like Hacker1leo say: "The branches are meant to improve work in UCR, and they do not take away from the main group- in fact it is intended to strengthen it."
Opposers state: "It will utterly destroy the group to give one person too much power individually. Yes I agree, it will keep them active, but theres a big problem with it also: It is giving the HRs too much power and influence in the group. It will destroy member rights, and if you look at history, especially C&G history, you might realize how rare it is to find who uses his power correctly all of the time, and even most of the time. Our problem isn't the activity, and in some areas is a great idea, but create a new one that will work. Create one that relies less on individual power and that will rely more on people power and member rights."
This controversy is probably going to die down as the vote was cancelled and it is catlord5's decision whether or not to make a new vote on the forum so that votes cannot be deleted.
Despite the controversy, TDFall was known by many to be a great leader and an influential member of UCR. He will continue influencing the group as a council member, and will perhaps help UCR become a better group overall.

I don't have a favorite hat, but I realy like the hat combo I were, Shimmering Ultraflash Anime Hair, Empyrean Reignment and Helm of the Flashing Bolt (All made by ROBLOX), but if I had to choose between the three, I'd say the Empyrean Reignment.

What is your favorite gear?
Well the (Sub)-Space Sandwich of course! There's a long story behind that. Want to know?
Yes
Well, it started at 2009, my best friend, Chocolatbuff and I was playing Tank-Tank, a game by Anominus, wich consiste of respawning tanks that... Well... Shoots other tanks. It was a tuff battle, but at the end I won, and he desided to get a other tank and shoot after me. I barely survived, but my tank was rendered useless, so I jump out, got out my Space Sandwich gear for laughs while he's charging towards me. At the last second, I use it for my last "munch", and some how, just before he hits me, he explodes! At that moment, the Sub-Space Sandwich was born. I triple-checked the script, and it should be harmless. I tryed many times to reenact the awesome glitch, but it never worked. And thats why I love that insane sandwich!
